Chapter 580 [Analyze] True Power

"Who's going to become their slaves?" shouted Ulva, the ex-Seven Faces Fear.

"Ohh.. It seems there is still a fight in you. Why don't you learn from your friend and accept your fate?" asked Nabe.

"I'd rather die than become a slave!!" yelled Ulva.

"Did you really think you could escape? Although I didn't bind you, I still have many ways to become obedient. But I didn't like using such a barbaric method. So, don't test me. I believe you are not so stupid as those so-called elders." said Nabe.

"Tch.. I may not be able to escape from you. But Lilith still can. She is the only one still not injected by you. I will ensure she escapes even if it is doomed to our race." retorted Ulva.

"Stop it, Big sis Ulva. That's enough!!" said Lilith, the Seven Faces Disgust.

"Lilith.. What did you mean?" said Ulva in surprise.

Lilith didn't say anything and approached Angus' group before taking off her mask. Everyone could see a beautiful red-skinned young woman with deep purple eyes and hair. Angus could see a deep intelligence and pride hidden in her purple eyes.

After taking a deep breath, "I… I know I don't have the right to ask for anything. But I am willing to sign another soul-bound contract and become a true slave." said Lilith.

"Lilith, what are you saying?!!" asked Ulva and the other ex-Seven Faces.

"True slave? And who is the master?" asked Angus as he somehow noticed the intention of this female Altras.

"Y-You… I... I don't care what you will do to me as long as you are my master." replied Lilith boldly.

"Hoo?? That's interesting." chimed Nabe.

"Hahahaha… That's a bold move, young one!!" laughed Alder.

"Angus, this female wants to mate… Mmmphhfff.." said Anna before her mouth was closed by Angus again.

"Tch... Why me? Besides, I already have someone I truly love." rejected Angus blatantly.

"I.. I know. But, If I never try, I will regret it." replied the young female Altras.

Before Angus could deny the others' feelings again, "Angus, wait." interrupted Jayna.

"Let her be. But, rather than become our slave, make her become our personal maid." added Jayna.

"Jayna?" asked Angus in confusion.

"Unlike that Nergal girl, she is different. I could feel deep affection and love from her to you. She will be worthy of becoming my love rival." said Jayna with a cold smile.

"*Sigh* Not this again. Still, I don't have any authority over this matter. We need to ask King Leon about this." said Angus.

"Don't worry, I will ask the Royal Father myself. He better agree or I will burn those stupid old bitches." said Jayna coldly while giving a sign to her aunt.

Hearing this, Both Extalia and Angus could only release a sigh. King Leon may look like a tyrannical cold-hearted King. However, he still has a bottom line. Despite his ruthlessness, he rarely touches anyone from high noble unless the other party's fault is beyond redemption.

Most of the high nobles still hold many important sectors throughout the kingdom. They are also one of the major foundations of the kingdom. If King Leon carelessly touches them, the whole kingdom will be in chaos, leading to instability.

It is something King Leon wants to avoid, especially during wartime. On the other hand, Jayna bore hatred for some old women from the high noble.

She will not forget how these women often bad mouthed, gossiped, or even tried to humiliate her in many past social events. If it were not for Angus by her side, she may already exploded and burned every one of them.

King Leon didn't care about these old whores' lives. Still, it will definitely offend the party behind them and complicate the situation.

Although it looks like blackmail, Angus and Extalia don't comment since they know how much the King doted on her daughter. Unlike the princes, King Leon actually always grants any of her wishes.

Unfortunately, Jayna rarely communicates and asks for something from her father, which stretches their relationship. Even without her blackmailing, Angus is confident King Leon will agree with her request.

"Fine. But, her contract will come later after she reaches the capital city. For now, you have the same status as the others." said Extalia.

"Really?? T-That's enough for me." replied Lilith while looking down shyly.

"Alright, since now everything is settled. I hope you also keep your word to protect us until we get out of this kingdom." said Extalia to Nabe.

"Sure. It is already dictated in the contract anyway. Besides, I just need to escort your people. How hard could it be?" replied Nabe casually.

"Then, I hope you don't mind waiting for a few days since most of our men are in bad condition." said Extalia.

"Nah…. Don't fret over it, Extalia. I am an Altras, the immortal race. I have a lot of time on my side. Besides, we are already friends. I could at least do this much to you." said Nabe. fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

Seeing the closeness between Aunt Extalia and Red Queen Nabe, Angus couldn't help but frown. *ROOOARR* Suddenly, their peace chat was interrupted by various monster roars. Since Onyx is no longer on standby, they need to kill the incoming monster from the cave path.

The monster's number is not a lot like before. They could only find ten monsters, with the majority being low-grade. The monster also no longer looks bizarre, similar to Anna's drawing. Still, they couldn't just let them go since there were many unconscious knights in the camp.

Therefore, Angus and Nabe create a strong rune barrier around the camp while the others exterminate the incoming monsters. They didn't want to take a chance if a strong monster suddenly appeared and attacked their camp.

While inscribing the rune, Nabe observed the young human and frowned slightly.

"You know what you did is wrong, right?" asked Nabe.

"Huh?? Did I make a mistake in my rune?" asked Angus back while inspecting his work.

"I am talking about your Ancient Power. Initially, I only thought it was some kind of mind-enhanced power. But, it is much more powerful than that." said Nabe.

"Did you mean [Analyze]? Well, I certainly know that I didn't use it well but there's nothing I could do about it." said Angus.

"Tch… Since you are close with Extalia and maybe my future co-worker, I will teach you something. Did you know the essence of magic?" asked Nabe in a lecturing tone.

"Essence of magic? Isn't it mana?" asked Angus.

"Wrong!! Well, most of the textbook will say that, but magic is much more than mana. Even you already experience it a little bit since you know little Anna and are capable of sealing Plargos' divine power." lectured Nabe.

"In fact, the essence of magic is very simple. It is energy manipulation. Magic is just turning other energy into other energy. For example, you turn mana into a fire and many others. The magic circle, rune, chanting, gestures, etc., only act as a medium to process the energy." added Nabe.

"Make sense. But, I don't see any relation with [Analyze]?" replied Angus.

"Sometimes I don't know if you are smart or stupid. It is a common logic. Before you transform or process the energy, you need to have the energy. Before having the energy, you also need to detect the energy first. You can't use something if you don't detect it."

"To my observation, your ancient power [Analyze] not only gives you enhanced mind power but also detects everything. It means you should be capable of manipulating everything in the surrounding." explained Nabe.

"In fact, if you want, you may be able to create a way out of this dungeon or turn it into whatever you like using that Ancient Power." added Nabe.

"Err.. I don't think it works like that. This power only detects the things that I know before." said Angus.

"No wonder. You are doing it wrong. Listen here, kid. All the powerful magicians always create their own unique spells. This is so their spell couldn't be easily countered and to delve deeper into magic."

"In magic, nothing is impossible, only the undiscovered one. If you can't detect it because of a lack of knowledge, you just need to learn or discover it yourself. Not everything should be taught." explained Nabe.

"You didn't know about it doesn't mean it does not exist. That's all I can say to you. You need to figure out the rest." added Nabe before going back to inscribing the rune.

Hearing Nabe's explanation, Angus frowned and was silent for a moment before going back to set up the runes. What Nabe explained is not something new.

In fact, it is easy to understand with all his knowledge. Still, he could never make such a conclusion without Nabe's explanation. Still, it does not mean her explanation is useless since he now knows which direction he needs to walk.

Previously, he was like a blind person walking in the dark to guess which direction to improve [Analyze]. Now, he starts to realize the true power of this ancient power.

'If my theory is right, then this power is terrifying. Still, I need a lot of work before I reach that level.' thought Angus.
